Caught between the promise of near-infinite bandwidth in the optical core and the ever-increasing speeds and port densities of the access infrastructure, today's edgeswitching systems are running out ...

Several inherent problems exist with shared multidrop buses, such as PCI, VME, and CompactPCI that limit major performance boosts. For example, performance degrades as you add nodes to the bus. Bus ...

Juniper Networks this week unveiled a new top-of-rack data center access switch, as well as a new fabric architecture that features that switch along with the company’s MX edge router and SRX security ...

Integrated photonics offers the possibility of compact, low energy, bandwidth-dense interconnects for large port count spatial optical switches, facilitating flexible and energy efficient data ...

The requirements of applications for which embedded systems are being designed vary in complexity, cost and performance widely. Presenting extreme challenges for designers of systems that must support ...

Last week’s data center splash from Cisco means customers can now begin to implement the company’s fabric technology just about end-to-end, from the server network interface card to the network core.

Meta has offered a glimpse into its new architecture for its biggest AI clusters. Dubbed Non-Scheduled Fabric (NSF), it represents a parallel approach to Meta's existing Disaggregated Scheduled Fabric ...
